Ingredients

16 ounces ground pork, 90% lean 10%fat
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon coarse Kosher salt
5 scallions, whites and green parts divided
1 tablespoon minced ginger, or ginger paste
3 cloves minced garlic
16 ounces rainbow coleslaw mix or 12 ounces of slaw mix and 4 ounces (1 cup)of shredded carrots
4-5 Tablespoons soy sauce, see note
1 Tablespoon unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons brown sugar, firmly packed
2 teaspoons sesame oil (optional)

Toppings:

Crispy wonton strips or sesame seeds
Sauce for drizzling: Prepared Sweet Chili Sauce, Duck Sauce, Hoisin, Sriracha, Chili Crisp, or any flavorful sauce you love for egg rolls.

Instructions

Add the olive oil to a large skillet. Cook the pork on medium-high heat until no longer pink (5-7 minutes). Season with salt. Turn down the heat if the meat is browning too quickly.
Add the ginger, garlic, and the white parts of the scallions. Cook about 1 minute until fragrant.
Turn the heat down to medium. Add in the coleslaw and carrot mix and cook until wilted, stirring often, about 10 minutes.
Once wilted, combine the soy sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, and sesame oil and pour over the veggies and pork. Cook for another minute to dissolve the sugar, scraping the brown bits off the bottom of the pan while you’re at it. Taste the mixture before serving and add more soy sauce or sesame oil to taste.
Garnish with green scallions. Serve hot as is or over rice. Top with crispy wonton strips, and drizzle with sweet chili or duck sauce, or any sauce of your choice.

Notes

Soy Sauce: If you're using low sodium soy sauce, use 5 tablespoons. If you’re using full sodium soy sauce, start with 4 tablespoons so it’s not too salty. You can always add more to taste. You can swap in coconut aminos or gluten free soy sauce.
Coleslaw Mix: Use 16 ounces Coleslaw Mix or if you can't find it, use 12 ounces of slaw mix and 4 ounces (1 cup) of shredded carrots
Meat Substitutions: swap ground pork for ground chicken, lean ground turkey, lean ground beef, plant based crumbles, or tofu.
